Abstract

This essay will focus on a case study of good practices in the field of projection and circulation of digital contents for humanistic research, starting from handwritten sources: the Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland project. As is stated in the website, “the goal of the project is to provide access to all medieval and selected early modern manuscripts of Switzerland via a virtual library”, virtually reunifying dispersed handwritten collections. This goal was made possible thanks to the TEI-P5 standard, which “enables the exchange of metadata with other digitization projects, meta-search engines, and portal sites”.
